Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is currently navigating his first season with North Carolina; however, there remains a possibility that he could return to the NFL next season.

The New York Giants parted ways with head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, and Belichick’s name surfaced as a potential candidate.

Belichick is trying to get his Tar Heels ready to play Wake Forest this week, but reporters asked the 73-year-old head coach about coaching the Giants.

“Getting ready for Wake Forest, that’s all I got this week,” Belichick said on Tuesday, via New York Post’s Justin Tasch. “I’ve...

The New England Patriots (8-2) probably won’t have too much trouble taking care of business in their matchup with the New York Jets (2-7) on Thursday Night Football.

It’s going to be hard getting them to admit as much, though…

“That’s human nature,” head coach Mike Vrabel said during his press conference on Tuesday, per team-provided video. “We just have to stay consistent through our actions. It’s a quick turnaround — our guys were locked in and prepared… We never want to take the cheese and certainly there’s a human element to it, but when things are going good you...

The New England Patriots’ Tuesday injury report was filled with 15 names just two days ahead of the team’s Week 11 “Thursday Night Football” game vs. the New York Jets.

“Patriots Tuesday injury report:,” the Patriots official account posted on X.

The good news for New England is that eight of the 15 players listed were upgraded from “limited” on Monday to “full” on Tuesday, indicating that they should be good to go for the primetime contest.

Among the notable names with the upgrade was rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson (knee).

There were five names listed as “limited” for the...

After opening the week with an estimation, the New England Patriots ramped up work with a practice.

Tight end Austin Hooper and defensive tackle Joshua Farmer stayed sidelined on a cold Tuesday in Foxborough. But five others, including running backs Rhamondre Stevenson and Terrell Jennings, went in a limited capacity as the New York Jets near.

Here’s the second injury report ahead of Thursday’s 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium.

Patriots

• TE Austin Hooper (concussion)

Jets

Brenden Rice, son of NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, has been released from the New England Patriots practice squad, insider Mike Reiss reported Tuesday afternoon.

The move comes in the middle of a short week as New England prepares to take on the New York Jets on “Thursday Night Football” just five days after a hard-fought win over the first-place Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Rice’s release likely has less to do with his performance and more to do with the state of the Patriots’ running back room.

Rhamondre Stevenson, who was the team’s lead back until he suffered...

The vibes are high around the New England Patriots, and that was once again evident at head coach Mike Vrabel’s Tuesday afternoon press conference.

He started his time at the podium joking with the crowd before providing a very redacted injury update.

When asked about the performance of 29-year-old defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga, Vrabel jumped at the opportunity to praise the first-year Patriot, who is playing on both sides of the football.

“I appreciate all of you guys that do — or have done– reports on him or highlight him any possible way,” Vrabel began. “That’s a guy that plays...

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman expressed his belief that Bill Belichick could be a candidate for a new NFL head coaching opening.

“There’s a team down in Chapel Hill playing a little better,” Edelman said Monday on his “Games With Names” podcast. “What if the New York Giants brought in Bill Belichick?”

The Giants parted ways with head coach Brian Daboll on Monday after a 2-8 start to the season. Belichick is currently coaching North Carolina, and if he wants to return to the NFL, New York could be a good fit.

Belichick was New York’s defensive...

The New England Patriots just won’t stop winning. After taking down the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10 by a score of 28-23, the Pats have now won seven straight games, pushing their record to 8-2 on the season.

All year long, fans have been waiting for the floor to drop out from underneath the Patriots’ hot start. But with each passing week, the team is managing to prove that they are legit. Taking down a talented Buccaneers team was a big statement victory for New England.

That was reflected in the latest NFL power rankings that came out heading...

Another week, another win for the New England Patriots, as they picked up a 28-23 upset victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. Once again, second-year quarterback Drake Maye turned in another solid outing to help ensure his squad came out on top when all was said and done.

This wasn’t Maye’s most efficient outing, as he completed just 16 of his 31 pass attempts, but he made his completions count, as he picked up 270 yards and two scores, while also racking up 13 yards on seven carries. He did throw an interception in the end zone...

Everyone knows that quarterback Drake Maye has been the New England Patriots’ most valuable player during the 2025 season.

The second-year pro might even be the NFL MVP frontrunner.

Outside of Maye though, who has been the Patriots MVP entering Week 11?

ESPN’s NFL Nation reporters picked the non-QB MVP from each team on Tuesday and Patriots insider Mike Reiss chose wide receiver Stefon Diggs.

“There’s the stat line: 50 receptions for 554 yards and three touchdowns. And then there’s the leadership, as Diggs has been a force multiplier to help bring out the best in others,” Reiss wrote. “In...

One of the major storylines of the upcoming NFL offseason is whether former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will return to the league.

Belichick is currently the head coach of North Carolina, but there’s a possibility he might make a quick exit and return to coaching in the NFL again.

If NFL teams are interested in Belichick, the Browns could be a possible destination. ESPN Cleveland radio host Tony Rizzo expressed a strong desire to see Belichick return to Cleveland.

“I’d go pick him up in North Carolina,” Rizzo said on Tuesday during “The Tony Rizzo Show”.
